Back to Nairobi

We go t up very early today and flew back to Nairobi- an easy flight and quick trip back to the Stanley hotel. Nairobi is a much nicer city on the weekend!!!! We checked in and then hit the Maasai Market!!!!!! Wow what a shopping experience. They had lots of cool stuff -jewlery and bowls and sculptures and paintings and clothes and sandals. It was a lot and the price they tell you is actually about double what they really will sell it for - my Grandpa Foiles would have loves haggling with them all! We were there for a few hours and then had to come back for lunch a few of us die hards had to go back for one more round after lunch! Good deals were had by all. I was expecting quite a bit more of a melee then it was- it was actually quite nice. For dinner we went to this crazy restaurant called the Carnivore - they serve everybody at the table the same options-soup and bread and salad to start then waiters with huge skewers of meat walk by and slice you pieces of meat off the skewer. But wait it gets better- the meat is chicken, pork ribs, turkey, roast beef, crocodile, lamb, crocodile meatballs, pork sausage, and chicken gizzard. It was pretty wild needless to say Alex and i stuck to the basics. Unfortunately just before dinner Alex started to feel sick and now she is running a temperature. We come home tomorrow hopefully she is just tired and this will pass soon!!!!!!! I'll call you in the morning Rob. I can't wait to be home- it has been a wonderful life changing eye opening trip but I'm homesick!:( See you soon Love to all
